    "It was during the major fires in Oregon so most of the time it was socked in by thick/heavy smoke.  Like brown fog.  Not at all the fault of Peach Beach. "

    "There’s a highway and railroad tracks in the backyard and the same across the river. If you’re a rail-fan, you’ll dig it. But it never really quiets down, you get used to it a bit."
